VRT PodWalks vs KnoopHop

Discover stunning locations across Belgium and the Netherlands during the VRT PodWalks. Step into an era filled with intrigue, romance and tragedy as you walk past centuries‑old structures and beautiful landscapes. Along the way, we tell you the stories of the people who shaped these places into what they are today. A podwalk is all about listening while you walk. Based on your GPS location, the audio segments start at exactly the right moment. Bring your earbuds or headphones — or use your smartphone’s speaker — and you’re ready to go!

NodeHop plans and navigates routes on the numbered-node network (knooppunten) — the signed cycling and walking network across Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany and France. Just describe your ride. "A 40 km loop from here with a coffee stop." "Kortrijk to Ghent on quiet roads." NodeHop builds a clean node-to-node route in seconds — then guides you along it, junction by junction.
